Good day to the proud and upright regulars of the Lounge! Before I begin, I would like to thank you for the lovely forums and the reminiscent atmosphere. We each share one thing in common: a pathetic love for an old classic :P
That said, I will get to the point of my post. A friend of mine brought to my attention certain previous posts about a so-called legitimate society on Diablo â Diablo Retail X, or, as it currently stands, Diablo X. As I began to read, I was not only astonished by the quick-to-judge and self-appointed connoisseurs of legitimacy, but appalled by the amounts of misinformation, generalization, and stereotyping from those who know little or nothing about the society.

Steinherz, my friend, you have over-stepped your boundaries. Many seem to forget that there are no longer gavels available for diablo channels, and therefore, any person has the right to join a channel of his or her preference unhindered. Even so, save a handful of people who I am very well aware of, the *vast* majority of regulars seek legitimacy and purity as devoutly as you or I. In fact, I encourage you to put your money where your mouth is and show me a single pair of persons with the same setup of imported items. For the past year I, and many friends of mine, have been cleaning up East and the numerous imports. I believe you know of my compendium of high-end legitimate items stating where, when, and by whom items were found.
Please, show some integrity; Do not stereotype a channel from a sampling. In fact, I find it extremely offensive the way many people in DSF-1 handle newcomers or fresh legits. Because legitimacy is personal and undeterminable, one can only be responsible for him or herself. The arrogance and unnecessary condascending remarks that I have seen in DSF-1 would make me embarassed to call myself a regular here. Rather than ostracize people for their shortcomings, respectfully teach them. Of the few people who have sported imports, few knew any better, but most were more than willing to get rid of, and learn how to prevent, imports. I believe one of the main reasons that there are so few legitimists today stems from disdainful attitudes.
In literal indignation, Diablo X has a solid foundation of knowledgable, practical legits who simply enjoy playing the game the way it was meant to be played. Furthermore, anyone legitimate or interested in playing legitimately is whole-heartedly welcome to visit my channel and play a game. Thank you for your time and patience,
